quantitative part percentiles

in links like this http://www.mba.com/the-gmat/gmat-scores ... means.aspx ther is written that the maximum score is 60. Has something changed? I am interested because I think I could have possibilities to go over the 98% in the quant section.

the mean score is increasing

I have noted that the mean score is increasing. For example once the 50 at the quant was a 92%, now it is 90%. Is it due because the Gnat is becoming simpler or because there are smarter people than ther were before?

680 (49Q, 32V)

I just got a 680 today. I'm a bit disappointed because if I had done a bit better I could get a 700.
I wouldn't say I don't consider it a good result but I missed the psycological treshold of 700.
So in this case I can say that I didn't beat the gmat! :(

I think I misunderstood what time slot means: I thought it meant an advertisement break during the prime-time show. Instead it means the period in which there was supposed to be a prime-time show. Right? So let's summarize: B doesn't weaken the thesis beacause people could still be intersted in leng...
